JOHNNIE & THE FOODMASTERS APRIL 2023 NORTHEAST TOUR!

Leave a comment

AMERICA’S MOST CHAOTIC MALT SHOP MEMORIES SEXTET HIT THE ROAD

Johnnie and the Foodmasters have announced their first tour of the Northeast!

Johnnie & The Foodmasters is Boston’s wildest oldies cover band. Formed as a trio in 2015 at the infamous Allston Speed Trials outdoor festival, the Foodmasters quickly evolved into their current six piece lineup known locally for their improbable yin and yang of pop perfection and shambolic noise. The Foodmasters put their spin on Stax, Sun, and Motown classics alongside frenzied ’60s garage rock. The result is immaculately messy, but plain old fun. The Foodmasters always strive to create a one of a kind experience and are beyond excited to charm the Northeast whilst on tour in April!

KLYAM SHOW AT CHARLIE’S KITCHEN MONDAY 6/27!

Leave a comment

Allow us to bring our Summer festivities indoors for an enviable show at the unrivaled Charlie’s Kitchen in Harvard Square where Mondays never have to suck.

The date is June 27th (yeah, next Monday night) and we’ve got one for you: two wild oldies cover bands and the wildest punk band in New England. Read on.

The debut of Pledge Pins – slop frat rockers cutting all the slack of garage classics. One to two minute blasts and on to the next.

Johnnie and the Foodmasters are cut from a similar cloth as PP; while the Pins are minimal, the 6 piece Elvis worshippers may be a described as a little bit much!

And what about RONG? Oh just the best punk band in Boston. Will give you the jitters like all the Boston underground noize greats and provoke inexplicable dancing and grooving.

Come through at 9 PM for $5. 21+
